After the snow-out of the week previous Brown Samana was back in business and flush with the fever of the season. There's a blooming sense of freedom inherent in spring fever that juxtaposes ironically with the slow death of true personal liberties as they are trampled beneath the goose-step of our prevailing culture of neo-conservative/neo-liberal/neo-facist global capitalism. Reflexively I felt obliged to spin a "freedom" mix. Neil Young, Devo and Traffic were all represented as well as Sonny Rollins and Oscar Peterson. And then the jazz took over entirely. Johnny Griffin, Lee Morgan, Hank Mobley, Curtis Fuller and John Coltrane blew the doors off the 1077A studio @ HomeGrownRadioNJ.com as horns upon horns rolled forth. We moved back to Oscar Peterson to bring it into the station for the Rob G. take-over.
Onion headlines were featured near the end as were those of Democracy Now!, an always provocative news show with which we at HGRNJ are in the process of affiliating. DN! is one of the sole remaining sources of truth available to we balance of meat puppets and I couldn't be happier we're bringing it aboard.
As I write, I'm diggin' this Stan Getz with Cal Tjader I've just picked up. You all can expect some of that this coming week.
